poorwrestler Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Nah, he's fine. GTG.Man I hope you’re right but the way he kept getting caught flat footed against a wrestler he’s far better than, and how badly he was limping afterwards, idk.

Brayton really strugglingSiebrecht went double unders and put Brayton to his back almost instantly, rode him for the whole period, and then it was a whole bunch of nothing from there. Brayton got in on some deep shots late but never really threatened. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragit Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 3 hours ago, wrestlingphish said: Man, if Spencer Lee was so vulnerable and gassed you would think the #6 ranked wrestler would be able to take advantage of that! "Oh no, Spencer only beat his top 10 opponent by 6 and didn't give up any points besides an escape!" All true. I'd even underline that by noting that said top 10 opponent and former 3rd and 5th place NCAA finisher hit Lee with a blast double at the very end of the match when Lee was gassed -- and still couldn't score, Lee is so good that he, exhausted, still fairly easily fended off a move that would have scored on anyone else. But! The big story to me wasn't Lee getting tired, looking a little ragged by his standards, and not getting bonus. It's what, I thought, caused those results - in my opinion his right leg clearly didn't look right, worse than it's been this year. He many times couldn't put it down properly, his movement and balance were materially impaired. I don't see him as as prohibitive a favorite as I did a week or two ago. I think they should considering load managing for the next month, MFF in later rounds to Big Tens if necessary. All the while acknowledging all I have to go on is what I see. His medical situation is obviously complicated. P.S. If you are an Iowa fan, exactly how frustrating to you is Jacob Warner? I've always stressed that in the end he does well for them when it matters most, but - Geez!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering how Spencer Lee is going to put together three wins over quality opponents all on the same day. I will NOT be surprised to see him lose this year. I agree that he is one of the most dominant wrestlers in NCAA wrestling today, but when you shut down after one period the way he did against McKee, people start to wonder. How would he fare in the next match in a tournament? Lee can make all the excuses they want, and whine that McKee didn't score any takedowns, but the third period I just watched had one wrestler creating offense, and it wasn't Spencer Lee. My God, he was staggering. I'm amazed he wasn't dinged for stalling! The earlier comment about Gilman resonates. Thomas Gilman DESTROYS this Spencer Lee.

Dark Energy Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Not good reading some of the posts about Spencer. If he MFFs at big 10s - has to be a big hit for his hodge chances. But, easy trade off to make it more likely to get #4. Cardio is one thing. Leg not doing well - well, that sucks. Feel bad for him if so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headshuck Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Someone said they were astonished that Lee wasn’t warned for stalling. It will be hard for anyone to beat him if that continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did something happen there? He's 76. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warner is on a short list of guys that have all the tools but chose to wrestler so conservatively it’s like watching paint dry. If Warner is the president, Will Lewan is chairman of the board.

Tom has a plan? Ahh ... probably not. The HWT seems obvious, the dual was won. Maybe Brands & Assad were dinged up and Salazar is a beast, prob did the math and couldve still wrestle Cass at HWT if needed. Plus ddm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poorwrestler Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Heard there was illness going through the team. Not sure if that was a part of it or not. Tom Brands needs to get his team some more vitamin c. They seem to have sweeping illnesses at least a couple times a year.

TylerDurden Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I really feel for Brayton Lee. Guy was wrestling really, really well last season before the injury. He's definitely not that guy this year. His pace is much slower. I hope he can rediscover his fight and make a good run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
